Re: [boost] Decimal: Formal review begins.

Has there been given any thought to making decimal32 and it's brethren "safe" in the sense that Boost.Safe Numerics types are "safe"? Seems to me to be a worthy idea given the types of applications that this decimal32 would be meant to support.

We have not looked into a safe version, but we follow the normal IEEE 754 convention where overflow, underflow, div by 0, etc. result in +/-INF and NAN. I think (but have no tried) that the decimal types fulfill all of the Safe Numerics conceptual requirements for Numeric<T>, and then could be used with Safe Numerics if that safety is desired. Matt
